It looks like an iPad, you play it like a Theremin. You can play an ATM with it, but it's a synthesizer! Musician and journalist Zuzana Hamm aka FridaY will transport you to the world of unique sounds of the Chromaplane analog synthesizer, the first electromagnetic synthesizer of its kind, which was created as a collaboration between KOMA Elektronik and the artistic duo Passepartout Duo. We will find out how the Chromaplane works, how it is played and what its functions are. Participants will have the opportunity to try it out for themselves and Zuzana will also play a part of her soundtrack to the book Flora by Jonáš Zbořil, which she composed purely on the Chromaplane, and which will be released this summer on the bitumen lichen label.

SYNTH LIBRARY
is a space for sharing, creating, discussing, experimenting, learning and unlearning together not only in the field of electronic music. Space full of instruments, books and more sources of sounds and inspiration run by artists and curators with the aim to rehearse together, support each other, collaborate and listen to each other with respect, to reflect context, rebuild modular structures and create welcoming space in which we can test new instruments as well as new ideas and ways of living and organizing. The Synth Library stands thanks to volunteers and donations. Your workshop donations are split between the facilitators of the workshop and the running costs of the library.

MEMBERSHIP
If you wish to become a member and get access to the instruments and books from the Synth Library collection together with other members three times a week, please register. https://synthlibrary.cz/registrace.php

TRIGGER CHANGE
We encourage everyone to think about the systems of power and stereotypes not only in the field of music and music technology but in the learning process in general, to be considerate and respectful and join us in creating a welcoming space for everyone.
